You don't have to only have grinders on the fourth line.

Agreed. A 4th line with speed, a strong forecheck, and some scoring prowess is just as intimidating as a bunch of slow, low-skilled grinders. It's past time to reinvent the Flames' 4th line. No need to keep borderline speed and skill at the expense of youth, speed, and skill.
